Policy · Conduct
Code of conduct.
A professional set is a respectful one. These are the standards on every unit we run.
Everyone on our units agrees to
- Treat people with respect. No bullying, harassment, including sexual harassment, or discrimination. That includes "banter" that targets someone's race, religion or belief, sex, sexuality, disability or background.
- Follow safety instructions from the 1st AD, heads of department and the safety briefing.
- Arrive fit to work. No alcohol or drugs on set, on location or at unit base.
- Respect confidentiality. Scripts, call sheets and anything covered by a non-disclosure agreement stay private.
- Take no photos or video on set or of kit, people or locations without permission. Post nothing about a production without permission.
- Respect other people's time and space, including prayer and quiet spaces and access arrangements.
- Speak up if something is wrong.
Raising a concern
- Tell your head of department, the course lead or any member of the Futures in Film team.
- For safeguarding concerns, contact the Designated Safeguarding Lead or use the report a concern form.
- The Film and TV Support Line is free, confidential and open 24 hours: 0800 054 0000.
If the code is broken
We listen to everyone involved and act fairly and proportionately. That can include a warning, removal from a unit or programme, or ending a working relationship. Serious matters may be referred to the police or other agencies.
